2- Nuclear Sour Warheads

A four year old Niall Javvad James Payne Malik woke up from his Saturday afternoon nap to the sounds of his family members giggling. He sat up and removed his favorite green blanket that was covering his small body and rubbed his eyes with his fist. He had slept on the couch, one of his favorite place to have his afternoon nap, and he noticed that someone had closed the television, causing him to frown. His fathers knew that he liked to sleep and wakes up with the TV still on. He liked it because he hates silence, and he scared of it. He jumped off the couch and headed towards the kitchen, where he heard the sounds of people giggling and laughing. When he entered the kitchen, he saw his Papa, Louis and Harry sitting at the table, giggling at something.

“Papa, sit on your lap,” Niall announced as he climbed on Zayn's lap.

“Hey babe,” Zayn kissed his forehead lovingly “Did you sleep good?”

“Why Papa close TV?” Niall asked, frowning a bit.

“Sorry bub,..I forgot,” Zayn apologized to his son, as he hugs Niall from behind closer to his body. . He did know that Niall likes to sleep with the TV on, but it's a bad habit that he tries to help Niall get rid off. Niall on the other hand, felt like his Papa was neglecting his needs.

“B-But Niall does not like it when TV is off when Niall sleeps,” He frowns at his father. Zayn knew that Niall wasn't exactly mad at him, he's just a tad bit cranky whenever he just woke up.

“I know buddy, I'm really sorry okay?” Zayn said, feeling slightly guilty.

“Ni! Ni!” Louis hollered at his brother, smiling slyly.

“Yes Lou?” Niall replied tentatively at his older brother, peering up the table looking for him.

“Do you want a candy Ni?” Louis asked mischievously, with Harry giggling by his side.

“Candy?” Niall smiled brightly ad the word. He held out his hands politely and replied; “Yes please,”

Zayn was slightly worried with the outcome but he still let Louis place the small round powdered candy on Niall's small hand. Without wasting any time, Niall happily popped the candy into his mouth, but once his saliva dissolves the candy on his tongue, Niall's face crumpled as he jumped off Zayn's lap and spit out the awfully sour candy from his mouth. His eyes were begin to water but when he looked up, his Papa, Louis and Harry were laughing at him. He hated sour foods and he hated when they made fun of him. He really couldn't understand what was so funny. The awful sour taste was still in his mouth so Niall tried to spit it out but it only cause Zayn, Harry and Louis to laugh harder. By now, a tear had trickled down Niall's chubby cheeks, his small lips quivering and he felt mad, and sad. Why are they laughing while he is crying? Why are they being so mean to him? He lets out a scream that startled everyone in the kitchen. After that, Niall immediately ran out of the kitchen crying.

Liam had just got home from grocery shopping, and when he entered the house, he was surprised to hear a loud scream which he recognized as Niall's. He walked through the living room with two brown paper bags and suddenly Niall bolted out from the kitchen, crying and screaming. He would've stop the toddler but the two large paper bags stopped him. Niall ran past him and Liam guessed that he was heading towards his room. Liam guessed right when he heard Niall's bedroom door slammed shut loudly. He sighed thinking that Niall is probably throwing on of his rare tantrums, and continued walking towards the kitchen.

To Liam's surprise, when he entered the kitchen, he saw a very mad and guilty looking Zayn, scolding silently at Louis and Harry. He waits until Zayn was done nagging the boys about something so Liam decided to put away the groceries that he bought. By the time Zayn had finished his little lecture, Liam had finished putting the groceries away. Zayn didn't say anything to Liam, instead, he just pull out one of the chairs and sat on it. He let out a long sigh and rubbed his face with both of his hands.

“What did the boys do now? Niall seemed pretty upset” Liam asked with a chuckle but his last statement caused Zayn to groan.

“It's not their fault,...it's mine,” Zayn admitted, feeling ashamed of himself.

“What?” Liam asked, quite shocked “How can Niall be mad at his most favorite person in the world?”

“God, you're making me feel worse,” Zayn groaned. Liam chuckled and moved to sit on Zayn's lap. He caress Zayn cheeks, feeling the rough textures due to his husband's stubble. He bumped his nose with Zayn pecked his lips.

“Sorry babe. Now what did you do to make our snowball cry like that?” Liam spoke as his lips brushed with Zayn's.

“I uhhh,...I let Louis and Harry gave him a sour warhead candy,” Zayn admitted “Knowing that he hates sour things,”

“Oh,” was the only thing Liam could say. He was silence for a few seconds before speaking again, “That's bad,”

“Yeah,” Zayn snorted “And that's not all. When we saw the funny face he made when he ate it, we all laughed at him. That's when he snapped. God,...I'm such a dick of a father,”

“No you're not,” Liam retorted.

“I am! What kind of father laughs at his own son when it's not even funny?!” Zayn stubbornly argued.

“Your move might be a dick one,” Liam argued his point causing Zayn's eyes to bulge out “But that does not mean that you're a dick of a father. You were just trying to have some harmless fun. I'm sure you meant Niall no harm,”

“Thanks babe,” Zayn pecked Liam's lips “But that didn't make me feel like less of a dick,”

“Well I like your dick so shut up,” Liam joked, causing Zayn to crack a smile at his silly husband. “Let me talk to Niall okay? And you're on dinner duty with Louis and Harry, as a punishment,”

“Yes Sir!” Zayn saluted me before I dive in for a deep kiss.

Liam could hear soft sniffling sounds as he stands in front the door of Niall's room. It's really rare to see Niall upset and when he does, it usually is a big deal. They found out that Niall really hated sour things during his third birthday party. One of the drinks served was an icy lemon lime which is typically sour. When Niall had a sip of the drink, he immediately threw a fit and walked around the house warning people not to drink it. From that day forward, Liam and Zayn knew that they should avoid any food that is sour from entering Niall's mouth. Liam was about to turn the knob on Niall's door but stopped when he felt a small hand tugged on his pants.

“Daddy?” Louis spoke, his face was etched with guiltiness with Harry hiding behind him “Can we talk to Nialler? Say we're sorry?”

“Not now buddy,” Liam answered softly “Let me talk to him first okay?”

“Okay,...but I am sorry Daddy,” Louis said, looking Liam straight at the eyes. “Harry is sorry too,”

“I know Boo, but let me talk to Niall first okay? You can go help Papa set up dinner with Haz,” Liam told him as he kissed both of their forehead. Louis nodded solemnly and dragged Harry to the kitchen. Liam thought it was good to let them drown in guilt for a while because they did make fun of Niall when he didn't deserve it.

Liam walked into Niall's room and noticed that Niall had trashed his bed and threw out every single toy from his toy chest. Liam followed the sounds of the boy's sobs and sniffle and found Niall at the place he always at whenever something upsets him; the small corner beside his closet. He had his face buried in Ben the bear, crying softly with occasional sobs and sniffle. Liam's heart broke at the sight and quickly moved towards the crying boy.

“He baby,” Liam cooed, as he moved Niall to cradle on his lap. Niall moved his head from the teddy bear, showing Liam his watery blood-shot eyes. “Shh,..stop crying babe. You're gonna make yourself sick,”

“Daddy,” Niall whined “Th-they g-give Niall s-sour can-candy and-and-and laugh at-at Niall,..Niall did not like sour candy but-but Papa laugh, Papa laugh at Niall,”

“Shhh, stop crying babe,” Liam was a tad bit lost for words. He kept wiping away the fresh tears ad kissed his son's sweaty forehead repeatedly.

“Lou-Bear laugh, Hazza laugh, and Papa laugh,...they are meanie Daddy,..N-Niall don't like meanie,” He sobbed as he grabbed Liam's shirt and buried his face in it.

“Come on bub, let's cuddle while you get some sleep okay?” Liam suggested and he could feel Niall nod through his shirt. Carefully, he picked up his son and headed for Niall's bed. Niall's bed was a bit too small for both of them, but Liam managed to squeeze both of them on it.

Half an hour later, Liam pried himself away from Niall and covered his small body with his orange blanket that he retrieve from the living room. He went back to the kitchen and saw that Louis and Zayn was arranging plates, spoons and forks on the table, while Harry sat at his spot patiently, ready for dinner. He noticed that there was two boxes of pizza that Zayn had probably ordered.

“How's Niall babe?” Zayn asked quietly, so that Harry and Louis wouldn't hear him.

“He's sleeping, probably tired from all the crying,” Liam answered with a sympathetic smile “I'm sure he'll be fine when he wakes up. He hoped.

***

But Niall didn't feel better when he woke up, especially when his Daddy wasn't by his side. Hi climbed off the bed and walked out of his room, dragging his blanket behind him. He heard voices from the kitchen and realized that they were having dinner,.....without him. They gave him sour candy, laughed at him and now ate dinner without him. He could faintly smell the lovely aroma of pizza, one of his favorite dinner, especially when his fathers cut it up in cute little cube shape. He peeked into the kitchen from the archway, separating the hallway and kitchen, and saw that his Papa, Louis and Harry sitting around the table, eating pizza. The only person that wasn't at the table was Daddy, who is at the kitchen island, cutting up a slice of pizza, which means that he hadn't forgot about him yet.

“Daddy?” Niall spoke timidly, causing every pair of eyes in the kitchen to look at him.

“Niall!” Zayn cheered happily, thinking that Niall's anger had blown off.

“No!” Niall yelled loudly, causing Zayn to sank back into his seat. “I want Daddy!”

“Ni, babe. Don't yell at your Papa like that,” Liam warned softly.

“Daddy,....can I have some pizza please?” Niall asked softly, ignoring what Liam had scolded him earlier. “Please? Eat in my room?”

“Alright babe,” Liam sighed, but still smiled at his youngest child, knowing that he was still mad. “Go wait in your room,”

Niall walked back to his room, hugging his blanket that smelled like Zayn tightly. Zayn on the other hand, had lost his appetite completely. He wasn't mad at Niall, in fact, he was mad at himself; he deserved the attitude Niall was giving him.

“It'll be okay babe,...I promise,” Liam whispered in his ear with a plate of cut-up pizza in his hand. He kissed Zayn's cheek and left the kitchen.

“Are you okay Papa?” Harry asked, his mouth smeared with tomato sauce.

“Y-yeah,..I'm fine. Finish up your dinner okay bub?”

***

“You can't yell at Papa like that Niall,” Liam spoke softly, brushing away Niall's hair from his forehead. Niall was busy scarfing down his cut-up pizza but still payed attention to what his father was saying as both of them sat on Niall's bed.

“Papa do not love Niall. He laughs at Niall and didn't give me pizza,” Niall replied sadly, popping another piece of pizza, chewing slowly.

“He loves you Niall. So much. He's really sorry for what he did. Do you love him Niall? Do you love Papa?”

“I love Papa. Very very much,” Niall replied, looking up at Liam.

Liam knew that it is just a matter of time.

***

It was two o'clock in the morning, and Zayn's eyes were still wide open. He kept replaying the way Niall rejected him and the amount of hate in his eyes. To Zay, it was hate even though he knows Niall is incapable of hating someone. He's too innocent, naïve, and kind to be associated with the word hate. He could faintly hear Liam's soft snores coming from beside him; Liam told him to give Niall some time, and he was pretty sure that in the morning will be the one looking for his Papa. But will he though? What if Niall kept pushing Zayn away?

Giving up on sleeping, Zayn went to the kitchen to have a glass of warm milk. After drinking hi beverage, he picked up one of the sour warheads from the candy jar and headed towards Niall's room. He didn't know what to he was doing or expected to happen, but his body seemed to be moving by itself. He was extremely surprise to hear Niall's voice when he peeked through his bedroom door that was left a jar.

“Niall miss Papa,” The sobbed, talking to Ben “But Papa laughs at Niall, and now Papa forgets about me,”

Tears voluntarily rolled down his cheeks. He didn't mean to let Louis gave him the sour warheads, he didn't mean to laugh at him, and he definitely didn't forget him. Quietly, he entered Niall's room. When he sat on Niall's bed, Niall automatically turned his body so that he was now facing Zayn.

“Hey bub,” Zayn choked out. Even though Niall was still mad at Zayn, he was still worried to see his Papa crying in front of him.

“W-Why Papa cry?” Niall asked shyly.

“I-I missed you,” Zayn replied, brushing his fingers on Niall's chubby cheeks.

“B-But Papa laugh at me, and-and didn't come get me to eat pizza,” Niall sobbed, hugging Ben tighter. Instead of answering his son, Zayn hoisted Niall gently and hug him tight.

“I'm sorry I laughed babe. I didn't mean to. Papa was a meanie.....but will you forgive me? Forgive Papa? I promise I won't do it again,...and I promise that I won't let you eat anything sour ever again,”

“I love you Papa,” was all Niall answered, hugging him back, and that was Zayn needed to hear.

“Here, let me show you something,” Zayn pulled back from the hug and pulled out the sour warhead candy from the pocket of his sweatpants. He tear the small packet and popped the red with white powdery candy into his mouth. His face crumpled up weirdly as the sour taste stings his taste buds. Niall giggled uncontrollably at his father's contorted face.

“No spit!” Niall warned playfully when he saw Zayn was about to spit the candy out of his mouth. So Zayn had no other option but to suck the candy until it dissolves completely in his mouth while hugging Niall tightly. Zayn and Niall fell asleep in each other arms the next hour, after hearing Niall babbled about the new episode of Power Rangers to Zayn.

The next morning, Louis and Harry had to go through the same thing in order to get Niall's forgiveness. Everybody laughed at Louis' and Harry's face when the candy hits their tongues, even they themselves had to laugh looking at each other faces. Liam decided to throw away the sour warheads candy, for everyone's safety and proclaimed the candy as one of the forbidden foods of the house.
